BCM4328 chipset nic (appletv) cant get onto my wireless network
i can scan and see my network but i cannot hop onto it, cant grab an ip address. pls keep in mind i am not running X yet, everything is from console. also, no ssh so i have to hand type everything. I am running gentoo, vanilla-kernel 2.6.31
here is some troubleshooting i have so far:
Code:
ifconfig -a

pls help.
i think it has to do with the configuration of the wpa_supplicant. can anyone tell me if i have the proper wpa_supplicant driver selected in conf.d/net (wext?!)
if you see other things awry or you can help me troubleshoot this further pls pithc in.
thank you. |
